Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Different physiotherapy approaches and education programs are applied to minimize motor and mental impairment in children with Down syndrome (DS). The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of two different physiotherapy approaches in babies with Down syndrome in the early period.

A total of 23 babies with DS aged between 0-24 months were included in the study. Infants were randomly divided to two groups: Bobath therapy (BT) group included 12 infants (6 girls and 6 boys) and Vojta technique (VT) group included 11 infants (4 girls and 7 boys). The infants were applied a total of 12 sessions of physiotherapy (twice weekly during 6 weeks). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used for comparison of motor development level before and after the therapy. Emotional status of the mothers was evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDS) and quality of life was evaluated with Nottigham Health Profile (NHP).

Bobath group received 45 min of sessions three times weekly for 12 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bobath Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Bobath group received 45 min of sessions three times weekly for 12 weeks. An individual program was scheduled for each case following pre-assessment. It was targeted to enable normal posture, facilitation of corrective balance and protective responses and development of normal movement patterns

Control group

Vojta group received the following three times weekly for 12 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Vojta technique

Intervention Type OTHER

Vojta group received the following three times weekly for 12 weeks: 1. Reflex crawling, 2. First stage of reflex turning, 3. Second stage of reflex turning. Stimuli (pressure and stretch) for 30-60 sec were given by using the main stimulus points and auxiliary stimulus points together.
